What Is Intuitive Guidance?
Intuitive Guidance is a transformative process that invites you to release old wounds, reintegrate lost parts, and reconnect with your true self.

Hypersexuality After Abuse
One of the least discussed of the patterns we carry is hypersexuality after abuse, especially when it arises from the fawn response, a lesser-known trauma reaction.

While often misunderstood or judged, hypersexuality in this context is not about desire, it's about survival - at least on one level.
